Chapter 437: Chapter 438

Menu Selene let out an exaggerated eye roll before releasing her grip on Nyx’s neck. Turning toward Kane, she smirked. “Well, look who decided to join us. Your knight in shining armor, little sister,” she said loudly, her tone dripping with sarcasm as her gaze lingered on him.

Kane’s face was a mask of fury, his anger practically radiating off him. But Selene, unimpressed, turned her attention back to Nyx.

She placed a hand gently on Nyx’s head, her voice dropping to a softer tone. “Don’t worry about the door. It won’t be long before the key is mine. And trust me, I’ll uncover exactly what you’ve been searching for... and all the secrets they’ve kept hidden from us for so many years.”

As Selene began to lower her hand, Nyx grabbed her wrist, her eyes locking with Selene’s. “Why are you always so obsessed with things that should stay forbidden?” Nyx’s voice was steady, though her grip trembled slightly.

Selene let out a knowing smile, yanking her wrist free from Nyx’s grasp. “Because another woman is after my husband... and carrying his child.”

Nyx’s gaze shifted toward Kane, who stood a short distance behind Selene. His expression was unreadable, yet his presence loomed over the room.

Selene turned on her heel, deliberately ignoring him as she began to walk away. But the moment she tried to pass him, Kane grabbed her wrist, spinning her around to face him. The sudden movement caused her body to press against his, and his icy eyes bore into hers.

“Let go of my hand,” Selene hissed, her voice low and venomous, her glare sharp enough to cut steel.

Kane’s grip remained firm, his refusal unspoken but clear. Selene’s lips curled into a defiant smile. “Oh, I see. Are you mad because I hurt your...” She deliberately paused, turning her head toward Nyx with mock curiosity. “What do I even call you, sweetheart? Mistress? Sidepiece? Or perhaps his future wife?”

Kane’s hand tightened on her wrist, his knuckles turning white. Selene’s attention returned to him, her expression calm but taunting. “What’s the matter, Kane? Worried about your precious reputation if I take over your pack and your company?

Newsflash: You can’t stop me, even if you tried.”

His voice was low and dangerous as he spoke. “If I wanted to stop you, Selene, I could do a lot more than you think.”

She laughed, the sound sharp and mocking. “Oh, I’m sure you could. After all, you’ve already mastered the art of getting another woman pregnant. Not something most loyal Alphas can brag about, huh?”

His grip faltered at her words, loosening enough for Selene to step back. She patted his shoulder with mock sympathy. “Go on now. Comfort her. She’s far too delicate to handle me.”

Kane’s glare was scorching, but Selene merely arched a brow. “What? Still mad? Oh, I know what this is about. You don’t want me at the pack meeting, do you?”

His eyes flicked downward, scanning the gown that hugged her figure perfectly. His voice dropped to a whisper, though it was laced with disapproval. “Why are you wearing that? This is a pack meeting, not a party. Are you trying to seduce someone dressed like that?”

Menu Selene raised an eyebrow, her lips quirking into a smirk. “What, this?” She gestured to the gown. “It’s a fully covered dress. Oh, wait...” She turned around, sweeping her hair over her shoulder to reveal her bare back. “It’s backless. My bad.”

Kane’s eyes darkened, his gaze hardening. “Go change. Now,” he growled.

Selene turned back to face him, her grin widening. “You’re absolutely right. I bet I could seduce a few men in this dress. Then again, why not? My Alpha turned out to be a cheater. Who’s going to stop me? I’ll show everyone exactly what their oh–so–loyal Alpha has done.‘

Kane’s expression shifted, his eyes clouding with something primal as their color changed. Selene noticed but didn’t care anymore. She turned on her heel and began walking toward the hallway, her back straight, her face void of the smile she’d worn moments ago. Beneath the surface, her anger simmered, her chest tight as she held her breath.

Behind her, Nyx’s shaky voice broke the silence. “K–Kane, I-”

But Kane cut her off, his voice exploding in rage. “Shut the fuck up! This is all because of you!”
